What has inspired us to write about this subject as our opening blog? Basically, it was searching for birthday products for twins' birthday that we hope we can add to our store selection - we are pleased to advise that this will be happening very soon! Nevertheless, it has been a struggle as we realised that there is very little "out there". In doing our research and asking some mums of twins if they would like to see Twin birthday products, we also reflected on our own birthday.
We certainly didn't have party paraphernalia growing up, partly because there just wasn't any 'back then' but mostly because our birthday fell on Christmas Day, we didn't have a party. Our birthday was a little lost amid the Christmas celebrations and when of an age that we noticed we didn't have a party because everyone would be tucking into turkey, we also realised that we had been hit by the double, double whammy - joint birthday and joint Christmas gifts! One present fits all! "To "The Twins" - Happy Birthday, Happy Christmas!"
Looking back we can say that our parents and siblings considered us as individuals where present giving was concerned and as we got older we were asked what we wanted.
If you are a twin mum , how do you celebrate your children's birthdays, we would love to know! Do you make a point of ensuring that they are given different presents? Do you have any experiences that you can share with us, or just let us know your thoughts? Have friends and family let you down a little by the one present scenario?
If you are a twin reading this, we would love you to share your thoughts on growing up with a sibling sharing the same birthday. Were your experiences, similar to ours? Spare a minute and let us know!
